Default Wheel Mesurments

I understand that the stock wheel size for my truck is a 15x8 correct?

What is the stock backspacing and offset for my rims
and yes i know how these mesurments work...

Im looking into buying some 15x8 cragar soft 8s 5" backspace +13 offset just want to know if thats same as stock

On a side note, what would look better black or chrome???

a positive offset will give you the look of a wheelspacer. and for your color truck i would go with chrome.

Definitely go with black. Shows no brake dust plus looks badass clean or dirty. Chrome looks like **** if it isn't clean all the time. Plus you have to polish those water spots off all the time. www.SummitRacing.com has the cheapest prices on the Soft 8 and rock crawler wheels in white, chrome and black. 15x8 is around $42.00.
